Interesting People

People are unique and everyone is interesting. I love to photograph people who are a little unusual, or who are doing something entertaining or captivating. If you want to see a variety of people, and have the opportunity to photograph many of them, just hang around a busy location with a camera and large lens on a tripod. Nearly everyone has to stop, ask what you are photographing, how big is that lens, how much did it cost, and a variety of other questions. After all that, how can they say no if you want a photo of them?

While on my recent Arizona, Utah photo trip we photographed this iconic site. The cliff is over a thousand feet above the Colorado River below. My friend Tjie Poo is photographing on the point. The first day we were there I was so afraid of the heights that I had to crawl on my hands and knees to the edge to take a photo. Meanwhile, Tjie hung out on the edge for over an hour.
